an experiment in my sketchbook for summer of color

I am a little late to join in with the summer of color, but i have been wanting to paint some simple maps so I decided to do this quick map in the colors for this week....

Purple, purple, yellow.

This one is just an experiment. My next maps will have more detail i think...but in my head i wanted a simple one with no black lines, just all watercolor and no labels so the plain watercolor itself was the beauty of it, with the roads left white.  But when i got to that point I just couldn't leave it. Then once I had added the street and dirt road's names I knew i would have to add lines, so if i was going to do all that I should have planned to add details like houses and trees and a compass rose. But that's what a sketchbook is for, experimenting....
